judges Of men in the city, who was one
Of the delegation, made q somewhat

workings and business methods. This
gentleman said Cooley and SChoon-

"Oooley and SOhoonmaker are the

thing he seeks to know. He was
full match for the vigilant Stshlman,

On tho whole, our observant friend
was decidedly Of opinion that the
brains, tho administrative ability and
force Of the commission were in the
keeping of the man from Michigan

thought II there WAS any possibility Of

equal to the work.

1t was . simple story--straightforward,
and without complication and Mrs. Saun-
ders, having heard it, went up stairs to
her grandchild's nursery, and left the two
alone. They had their plans to think of,
their future to talk about; they did not
need her. They had to take up the
thread of their life where it had snapped
so suddenly; and they found it marvel
ously easy to do so, for their hearts had
never ceased to beat in sympathy with
each other.
"We have dropped out of the account
Janet and land she is in her quiet
grave; so, after all, it is only me that it is
hard upon," said good Mrs. Saunders to
herself, as she stopped over her grand
sons cot. From the moment she under
stood the situation clearly she had seen
how it all must end, and, although she
cried little, she was glad, and did not
regret that she had gone out with noise

be happy" she said to herself, with sob !;

bless her and make her SO 2 although she

Personal Identification Texas
"Colonel has been spending several
weeks in New York. A few days ago, be-
ing in need Of some money, he applied to
Broadway bank to cash draft " What
is your name ?" asked the paying teller.
" Colonel Sumter Blank, sir, of Austin,
Travis county, Texas" "You will have
to be identified. Colonel" This was some
thing the Colonel had not taken into con-
sideration. He knew of nobody who could
identity him, and was about to leave the
bank when happy thought occurred to
him. He reached into his breast pocket
and brought out photograph Of himself,
and holding it under the nose OF the bank
official, said: "There, sir, I guess that set
ties it-'' "Of course, that's your photo
graph but how does that identify you p
Well, sir, will you please tell me how
could have my photograph taken if it

Many a child goes astray, not because
there is q want Of prayer or virtue at
home, but simply because home lacks
sunshine. A child needs smiles as much
as flowers need sunshine. Children look
little beyond tho present moment. If q
thing pleases, they are apt to see it. If
home is the place where faces are sour
and words harsh, and fault6nding is ever
in the ascent, they will spend as many
hours as possible elsewheee. Let every
father and mother, then, try and be
happy Let them talk to their children,
especially the little ones, in such way a.
to make them happy.

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wondera
Just now South Central Kansas is all ex-
element about inland sea bathing in the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. II
is said to be the only inland salt lake in the
United States except the one in Utah, and IL
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one OF
the strange natural curiosities of this CONT
nent, being seven in number and each diff.
ferent in mineral constituents. and are all
situated within a space of thirty feet square.
A complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here
tofore to be incurable, and notably one OF
them being Addison's disease, for which, it
is said by medical works, there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
ly purchased the springs to employ Prof. E.
II. S. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me-
tallurgy and Mineralogy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem.
lists in this country, to make a critical guam
titative analysis in order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount of it,
contained in these mineral waters, and as
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name, is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
in the Union, and it now looks as if Saratoga
and other prominent resorts are to be for
gotten in the excitement over this new Kan.

In the days of real live Madonnas they
did not wear bangs, We must acknowledge;
the soft golden locks were parted window
curtain style over the smooth white brow;
but the days when q woman was q saint to

There is not q woman IN existence, prob
ably, who is not saint in some ones esti-
nation, but she does not divulge the fact
promiscuously; she allows her virtues to be
discovered; she hides the light of her
countenance not under bushel, but under
. bang,
The meek Madonna waves went out with
the days when women openly acknowledged
men were lords Of creation. It is just as
much real fact to women now as then,
but the belief is one of the bang hidden
virtues.
However, Is the warm, perspiring sum-
mer days come on, women have not time
to complacently contemplate the beauty
and variety Of their naturally amiable quail
ties Of character, but in great vexation Of
spirit they look about for some transcen-
dental way Of keeping becoming and an
unmussable bang.
If she is q saucy- faced, laughing Tipped

The Catac0mDS of Paris.

A Paris correspondent, describing
his approach to the heart of the cata-
combs of Paris, says: after travelling
in this way two hours, I thought things
were growing mon otonous, but thus far
we were only approaching the cata-
combs. On each side as we went along
were branches, the access to which
was barred by chains; but the chains
were unnecessary as far as we were
concerned, for no one felt tempted to
strike out into strange paths here.
After while, however, we came to
the skulls and bones which we had ex-
pected to see, and we found miles of
them. They are corded up on both
sides with the utmost regularly; few
layers of tibias or femurs, and then o
layer of skulls, then tibias, and then
skulls, and then femurs, with ribs and
dorsal vertebr.e thrown in to break the
monotony of the scene.
It is said that the bones OF over 8, OO0,-
600 people are deposited in these cata-
combs, and the subterranean passages
for their reception extend all over this
part of the city, and are capable of in
definite extension.
